a plant has been discovered in India
which is said to destroy the power of tast-

ing a morbid appetite for sweatmeats,
which is an active promoter of indigestion.
Another plant found in Madras destroys
the relish for tobacco. Thus two import

THE story comes by wire that the So
cIallsts propose to organize a party in
opposition to Henry Georges Anti
Poverty Society. This is well. If these
two unclean kline will proceed to deyour
each other, we may hope for good to result
to society. The Socialists propose to call
their organization 1.-The nti-Robbery
Party" 1t will deny the right of private
ownership in land, money, goods, raw ma
terials, the products of labor, and in ma
chinery, and will do battle for the aboli-
ton of wages. Especially will it wage
war upon the Anti-Povertyites No doubt
there are those of the Socialists who are
sincere in their declaration of these aims
but the leaders are not As a rule they
are shrewd and lazy fellows, who live upon
their dupes, and prefer notoriety to fame.
The country is to be congratulated that the
Socialists have cast aside all DISCUSSES and
now boldly preach their absurd and rcvo-
lutiOnary doctrines. 1t is thing to be
upon, because it is the best
means yet presented for disgusting the
American people thoroughly with the So
cialistic scum the nation tolerates.

Ben. BUTLER knows how to reach for
the plums; he is nothing if not sensa-
tional. His latest effort to get into the
swim of new attention is speech in
which he advocates the pensioning of the
Confederate rebels who bore arms against
the nation. CONSIDERABLY, he suggests
that this shall not be done until all the
Union veterans claims have been met and
satisfied any surplus left in the Treasury
he would then have Turned over to the ex-
rebels. Butler was brave Union general.
He did his country eminent service in the
field, but if he had then died he would
have lived in history far more prominently
than is possible for him now The rebel
soldiers will never be pensioned from the
Treasury of the United :. All who
hope for such pensioning hope vainly-not
even the Democratic party of the solid
South can give the scheme vitality.

Mr.. EsTEE was happy in these remarks
in his speech at San Francisco on Thurs
day; Climate is a conspicuous element
that enters into the value of property, and
it is true that in California the man who
buys land buys climate, and ought to pay
for it. You cannot separate from the land
its capabilities for adding TO mans COM
forts" The Eastern people who object
to the scaling of land values by what is
atop" the soil, should think deeply upon
the expression we have quoted, for it is a
truth that in California we sell climate.

Business Training in our High School

1t Is hardly necessary to discuss IN
the audience of the public the advan-
tages ola .busiress education. 1t is
universally conceded blythe intclli-
gent and unprejudiced, that in what.
ever avocation the youths of our
country desire to engage, there can
be no question but that the first step
is to obtain practicable business edu.
cation. The truth is, so sharp is the
competition, SO sklfull have leading
business men become, that it is almost
impossible for young men to excel, or
even to succeed in business If they are
not directly educated for this
changed condition Of the times"
The most carless observer of our
practicable age, readily recognizes that
there never has been time when in.
telligent young men and women, who
have been thoroughly educated for
business, were in greater demand
than at present. Now, in order that
the aspiring youth of our county
might have an opportunity to qualify
himself for business life, CONNER.
cial course has been introduced in
orr high school. Some OF the studies
pursued in the course are CONNER
cial Arithmetic, Commercial Law,
Book Keeping, Physics and Civil
Government. 1t is needless TO discuss
the advantages of course in which
such practicable studies are offered.
There can be no doubt that the far
mer, mechanic, merchant; voter and
legislator would be far better quail
to discharge the duties of their pro.
fession if they were thoroughly in
structed in the studies offered in our
Commercial course.
Mankind, excepting small class,
as rule are employed in the pro
duction, preparation and distribution
of commodities, and efficiency in
these pursuits depends upon an ade-
quate knowledge of science. TO i'm
part this knowledge is the aim of the
commercial course. Natural Philos
ophy, a practicable knowledge oil
which underlies most all the comforts
and conveincies of our modern civil.
cation has recently been added to
this course. What knowledge is Of
more real. practical value than a
knowledge of general mechanics. the
laws of Heat, Light, Electricity and
Acoustics. II enters into the details
of every day life. Boys and girls
should aim most to acquire thorough
knowledge of those studies which
have direct bearing upon the indus.
trial activities Of the age in which we
live.
No young man should think Of
stopping school until he has secured
practicable business education.

The only way to diminish this competition
